Hi,

We have one app in the device which needs to communicate with native
process using unix socket.

We wanted to call WindowManager.Lock() also from this app.

For this, we made changes into the Android.mk to have following:

LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform
LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE := true

This made the app belong to platform_app domain. We used this domain to
give it the permission to write to unix socket. It also helped to call
Lock() API mentioned above.

Please let us know if this is valid change according to CTS compliance. In
general , can we use platform_app domain for the apps developed by the
device manufacturer.

Regards,

Sameer Joshi
